Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes approximately 1.5kb upstream of the annotated transcription start site and the first 811bp of the transcript. This results in the deletion of amino acid residues 1-211.
Phf7ΔN18/Df(1)Phf7Δ88 females retain full fecundity, but Phf7ΔN18/Y males show substantially reduced fecundity compared to controls.
Phf7ΔN18 is rescued by Phf7UASp.cYa
Basal expression of Phf7Scer\UAS.P\T.cYa (in the absence of a Scer\GAL4 driver) rescues the reduced fecundity of Phf7ΔN18 males.
